jan 1, 1668 - Francesco Redi

Description:

Redi conducted an experiment using jars with rotten meat and different barriers to test the theory of spontaneous generation in flies. The jars with any sort of barrier did not spawn flies. Redi's conclusion was that living things must come from other living things.
